Chapter Ten

“I’ll see you in a couple of hours.” Colt tucked his hands in his pockets, an easy smile spreading across his face.

Standing beside the bar at The View, Rachel smiled in return, her stomach fluttering. “Later.”

He kissed her cheek, his lips lingering on her skin, winked, and walked around her. Her heart did a pitter-patter as she watched him leave out the double doors. At just after 11:00 p.m., there’d been a lull in the crowd. Her co-worker Jennifer had agreed to watch her tables while Rachel took a small break to shove some food in her stomach. Colt arrived mid-sandwich. He’d come to check on her, and, of course, to remind her he’d be waiting when she got off.

A week had passed since the night he spent in her bed, since she’d woken to the stunning realization he’d stayed the entire night. In that time, he’d come over for dinner twice, and twice they’d ended up on the couch in the living room after Greg went to bed, making out like teenagers.

Seeing him left her caught between the part of her still waiting for the other shoe to drop and the bone-melting desire. The tension between them had become palpable and electric.

She turned to head back to her tables when the doors opened again and Amy came through. She ran over with all the excitement of a teenaged girl, and enveloped Rachel in a hug.

“Went out for a diaper run and couldn’t resist stopping in to say hi.” Amy pulled back, her brows shooting up into her hairline. “Was that him?”

Amy’s excitement was familiar. There was something about her and Amy together that always made Rachel feel like she was still in college. “Yeah, that’s him.”

Amy waggled her brows. “He’s pretty tasty.”

Rachel released a pent-up breath. “The man can fill out a pair of jeans, Ames.”

Amy grinned, a conspiratorial curl of lips that made her eyes twinkle with mischief. “It’s kind of sweet he’s watching out for you.”

“It is, isn’t it? I don’t think I’ve ever had a man actually treat me like a lady.” Tiny little shivers raced across the surface of her skin. “He’s got this subdued alpha thing going on. Cocky and sure of himself one minute and tender and sweet the next. And he’s all ‘charge in and save the day.’”

“I won’t say I told you so. Finally. Someone to sweep the impervious Rachel Madison clean off her heels.”

Rachel gave a stubborn lift of her chin but couldn’t hide a reciprocating grin. “The man did not get under my skin.”

Amy folded her arms across her chest and arched a cynical brow.

Rachel giggled and held up her hands. “Okay, okay, so he has. More than I care to admit.” She let her shoulders slump and heaved a sigh. “Which is exactly the problem.”

Deep grooves formed between Amy’s brow. “Why is that a problem? Sounds great to me.”

“Twice in the last week after Greg’s gone to bed, I’ve found myself in Colt’s lap, making out like teenagers.
